Lot Essay

These earthenware jardinieres or plant pots with stands, flowered with Roman acanthus in 'Etruscan' pearled borders, are likely to have been acquired in the 1840s by Colonel Robert Myddelton Biddulph (d.1872) , at the same time as the heraldic jardiniere (Lot 119) supplied in the later 1840s by Messrs Minton & Co.'s Porcelain Manufacture in Stoke upon Trent, Staffordshire.

A quantity of original correspondence between Myddelton-Biddulph, E. Pugin and Minton, principally dating from circa 1857-8 and concerning the tiles, is included in lot 502.
